The Jesus lizard, or basilisk, has several remarkable adaptations that allow it to run on water. Its long toes are equipped with flaps of skin that increase surface area, enabling it to distribute its weight and create enough lift to stay above the water. Additionally, its lightweight body and rapid, coordinated leg movements help it achieve the speed necessary to "walk" on water. These adaptations are essential for escaping predators and navigating their natural habitat.
